Data Protection Act 1998 fair processing information

Parking officers are called Civil Enforcement Officers (CEO) and all are identifiable with shoulder identification numbers. Their role is to assist the public and observe the parking regulations are adhered to. They will take photographs of vehicles whilst under observation as part of gathering information and these photographs may be used if a penalty charge ticket is issued if the CEO believes a contravention has occurred. Photographs are then either a) added onto the case file should further supporting evidence be needed or b) if photographs are not required (when a contravention does not materialise) then they are deleted.

Please note that whilst processing Penalty Charge Notices, the registered keeper details of vehicles may be requested from the DVLA.

Inappropriate behaviour towards Wycombe District Council staff

In the last year, a number of Wycombe District Council parking officers have been physically assaulted or verbally abused. Please be aware that aggressive behaviour towards our staff will not be tolerated and all such incidents will be reported to the police. Incidents of this nature have already resulted in successful prosecutions.
